I've not seen these warnings, but if the OS really doesn't support
epoll as the warnings indicate, executables won't work anyway.  On the
other hand, if they work you may be able to ignore the warnings.  A
workaround in the former case would be to disable epoll at compilation
time using the '--disable-epoll' configure option.
